What are the “miscellaneous” files that the camera options talk about?
These are any files stored on the camera that were not identified to WinZip as pictures, audio, or video. The most common type of “miscellaneous” file is the raw image file. Raw image files are images that are stored in a format that is proprietary to the camera manufacturer and are usually supported by higher-end cameras such as digital SLRs. Some manufacturers’ raw files are identified by Windows as pictures, and WinZip should be able to acquire them normally. Other manufacturers’ raw files, however, may not be identified as pictures, in which case WinZip will not download them. If you use your camera’s raw format and your pictures do not appear in the picture selection dialog, try checking this option in the Cameras configuration tab. If your camera’s raw files aren’t downloaded at all, even if you check Get miscellaneous (unknown) files, then Windows is not including them when WinZip asks for a list of all files in the camera. This may be an issue with your camera’s firmware. Check
